New toy - 629-1 Classic; full underdog, non-fluted cylinder. But it's shot a round or two, and the cylinder-end and little peeps around the sides are blued and discoloured from the heat. How best to clean - or - polish this off? Thanks!
Polishing Stainless Steel Revolver... ?

- Start date
Don't know about "best", but for reasonably cheap, available and not terribly much effort, Lagostina (the cooking pot folks) sell a Stainless Steel polishing powder that has removed discoloration and other flaws from my stainless steel stovetop covers. I think I got that at Canadian Tire some years ago. It seems to combine chemical and physical polishing. Takes some elbow grease.
Autosol is also available at most stores and does a decent job with stainless stuff as well. More elbow grease as it doesn't have any chemicals to dissolve the discoloration - just abrasives.
If you are near any decent kitchen store, you will find they tend to have all kinds of stuff for polishing stainless. Don't fall for anything in a spray can - those are just cleaner-wax type products that are meant for stainless fridges and such. Get one for pots.
I also got some serious discoloration and goo off a stainless ring on my stove using a copper scrubbing pad (dollar store) but that is only appropriate for dull finishes - it seems to dull the finish of highly polished stainless.
Good luck!

I use Mothers Mag Polish from Canadaian Tire but it makes it shiney. Like real shiny.

Mothers or Flitz will polish your gun, not clean it--the matte finish will be permanently shinier. No big deal if you're doing the whole revolver but it will end up with an odd look if you're looking just to clean off shooting residue.
Quick update - Nevr-Dull and (some) elbow grease. The Nevr-Dull tip from somebody on you-tube who was using the Birchwood Casey cloths and found himself pondering that they smelled just like something he knew... turns-out, it was Nevr-Dull.
